World's Cutest Duck - Underwater view!

Cool as a cucumber, he plopped down She looked and wondered why, but said, "Hi." Wishing she had turned her head with a sour frown The whole time thinking she wished she said bye She looked and wondered why, but said, "Hi." He was cool as a cucumber, so it seemed The whole time thinking she wished she said bye Deep down in a rut, her thoughts said get up in a scream He was cool as a cucumber, so it seemed But he was really paddling like a duck underneath Deep down in a rut, her thoughts said get up in a scream If only had she known, it would lead to a bridal wreath But he was really paddling like a duck underneath Wishing she had turned her head with a sour frown If only she had known, this would lead to a bridal wreath Cool as a cucumber he plopped down poem coming soon__Finis' Date: July 27, 2022 Contest: Simile Sponsor: Hilo Poet

wow, how interesting. This is the opposite of love at first sight. My own story was love at first sight, but maybe this would have had a better turnout for me. haha

Andrea, Part truth and part a made-up story. LOL.. I think that we are where God either wanted us to be or His permissive will lets us be. I am glad you got a little laugh out of it anyway. Sara

Just a hint, Victor. A hint was all I could give it today. LOL..It is based on a true story, but it is only a small portion of the story. Your visits always bring some charm. Sara
